IIS URL issue for a ASP.Net application

Question

I have a hyperlink on my aspx which will take to users to

http://something/leadoc/FnJavaView.aspx?Library=DefaultIMS:myserver:FileNet&Id=3611376&ObjType=2&Op=View

I have the same link on another web application, when users click on that link it is showing something like below

http://something/leadoc/FnJavaView.aspx?Library=DefaultIMS%3amyserver%3aFileNet&Id=3611376&ObjType=2&Op=View

If you notice the ':' is converted to %3a

because of that URL is throwing an error.

Could you please help?

Answer 1

Assuming the error is when the link is used from your ASPX you need to URL encode the URL

string url = "http://something/leadoc/FnJavaView.aspx?Library={0}&Id={1}&ObjType={2}&Op={3}";
string library = Server.UrlEncode("Server.UrlEncode");
int id = 3611376;
int objType = 2;
string op = Server.UrlEncode("View");

url = string.Format(url, new object[]{library, id, objType, op});

Any dynamic string data should be URL encoded in query string.
